MAN DYING IN HOSPITAL FROM INJURIES ricked t p Xenr Fortlrtk and L Streets Early Sondny Mvrnlnit vrlth Face roshed aad Other '. nice Hart. Frank Mftrtin, aged 4G. In dying at the fcouth Omaha hospital an the result of In juries sustained through Jumping from a Burlington freight train near Fortieth and t streets Saturday night. Martin Is so badly Injured that he can scarcely speck and the attending physicians hnve no hopes Of his recovery. The Injured man was found by the side of the Burlington track at 8 o'clock Sunday morning end a mes aage was at once sent to police headquar ters. A conveyance was procured and Mar tin was removed to the hospital. Drs. Kelly, Snpp and Slabaugh were called, Dut could do but little. An Investigation by the doctors showed that Martin had broken both Jiw bones, the cheek bonea and the nasal bones. In fact, his face waa com pletely crushed. For several hours after reaching the hospital the patient waa un able to articulate. When he managed to peak he said that he had fallen from a Burlington freight train during the night. The police auppose that he tried to board or alight- from a moving train and was stru.k by a brake beam. Martin's parents reside at Marshalltown, la.. They have been notified by telegraph and are expected here today. Martin Is an ex-convlct. Blnce his release from the penitentiary he has been boarding at Tom Gillespie's place at Thirty-ninth and L street. The doctors say he cannot pos sibly live more than a day or two. Cavalry Troop Camp. Captain Bruce McCulloch of the South Omaha cavalry troop said last night that the cavalry troop would not go Into camp at York with the Nebraska National guard The captain said that the troop will camp In the vicinity of 8outh Omaha some time In September or early In October. By camp ing near home the troopers will be able to use their own horses and a much larger attendance at the maneuvers will be the result. Watchmen for Crossing;. Certain members of the city council have decided that Watchmen are needed at the grade crossings at F street, and also at the Burlington crossing at Thirty-ninth and L streets. An ordinance Is to be read at the meeting tonight directing the rail roads to employ and maintain watchmen at these crossings, in order that accidents may be prevented. Several times In the last few years the council has attempted to pass ordinances similar to the one to be read tonight, but the railroads ' have always given an excuse of some sort and the law In respect to watchmen at grade crossings has never been fully enforced. It Is understood that the present ordinance will be passed. City Conncll Tonight. Thla evening the city council will meet and most likely pass five Improvement ordinances, which were read f6r the second time at the last meeting. It Is expected that the water company franchise ordi nance will be reported on by the Judiciary committee and that the ordinance will then be read for the second time. There is absolutely no truth In the re port that the Nebraska Telephone company will ask for an extension of Its franchise at this time. The telephone franchise has nearly eight years to run yet, consequently there Is no necessity for applying for an extension at this time. Pavement Worn Oat. The pavement on Twenty-fourth street la woroe now than It waa before the re pairs, costing $2,C00, were made. From J street south to N street, on both sldea of the street, the holes are almost deep enough to mire a buggy. The street de partment Is to be requested to fill these big holes with broken stone, as the only pavement wanons can travel on is between the street car rails. By using broken stone and cement the city can muke temporary repairs which will not ' cost more than $160, and this will most likely be done. Magic City Uosslp. Ed Belelt.

HE. WAS A 'PERFECT DEAR" Shrewd Ite.se of the Original t. Loots "Boodler" In Managing a Beer Garden, Frlti Adolphy, the original St. Louis "bDodler," died at Clifton, Arls., recently. Ha waa 88 years old. He went to Clifton many years ago and established a brewery that waa the wonder of the mining camp. He waa' prosperous for several years, but his liberality toward his friends left him poor In his old age. Frltx once conducted a large beer garden In St. Louis where beer was served by women. In an unusual virtuous streak, the city fathers passed an ordinance that verged upon the blue laws and attacked eld Frlti's main drawing card. It was that no women should act ns waitresses to serve beer. A shrewd lawyer found a hole In this ordinance by which tho daugh ter of the owner of a place might serve her father's guests. Frits then took the step that may eventually make him a patriarch like unto Abraham. He called all his waitresses, about ninety, and hied with them to the orphans' court where he adopted them all as his daughters. For many years these dutiful maidens served their foster father's patrons with profit to themselves, Frits, and certain delegates. The range of nationality In the waitresses would Indicate that the old Rus sian had gathered his family from aa many countries as Solomon himself. From fair Gretchens to swarthy daughters of Italy and saucy American girls, they swarmed about the confines of Fritx Adolphy's malten Utopia. It Is said that thin incident opened ' Ed" Butler'a eyea to the money In "graft." The old man was of a noble Russian family. He spoke several languages fluently. He waa a soldier by profession and came to the United States to Join the northern, army. He won honors In his military career and It waa subsequent to thla that he went to St. Louis. He had lived all over .America. His place In Clif ton waa like an oasis In a desert of bad cookery. Its furnishings were old-fashioned and dingy and the service was not the most fashionable by any means, but the viands prepared under his careful scrutiny tickled mountain palates. The grumbling and dissatisfied guests had little assurance from him. "Go to a sheep camp and get your din ner," he said boldly to a drunken des perate "cow puncher" who ventured crltl clnm. Adolphy had lived In this new coun try long enough to be counted one of the oldest of the old-timers. All the business houses and even the gambling "Joints" were closed during- bis funeral hour.

Wednesday evening the first sixty stamps of the new 120-stamp mill of the Horseshoe Mining company began to drop. and on Friday afternoon the other sixty were In operation. The new plant of the company is located in Terry, right at the mines of the company and convenient for the economic handling of ores. The plant Is a wet crushing cyanide, and the ore which is being supplied to It Is taken right from the surface of the ground, scrapers being used to load a greater part of It on the cars and wagons. The mill at the present time has & capacity of about 600 tons of ore a day, but will be increased so that It will be crushing 1,200 before the first of the eomlng year. It will be one of the most complete plants In the Hills, and one of the largest, the only one having a greater capacity being the Amicus mill of the Homestake company. Under the new management the affairs of the com pany has been placed in excellent shape, the mistakes of the former management have been corrected and It Is not presum ing to say that when the company next pays a dividend It will have earned it, and that the dividends will become a regular monthly occurrence within a short time, dating from the operation of the new mill. Rellanee Elects Officers. The annual meeting of the Reliance Mining company was held In Deadwood last Wednesday and the following board of directors elected for the year: 8. E. Olson, Minneapolis; C. W. Brlnsted, Omaha; F. W. Medbury, F. W. Bower, Deadwood; J. C. Wass, Centervllle. B. D. The board of directors elected the following officers: 8. E. Olson, president; F. W. Medbury, secretary and general manager; E. H. Bennett of Lincoln, Neb., treasurer. The question of erecting a mill of large ca pacity on the ground of tho company. which Is located on the east side of Spear fish creek, was discussed and the result was that a committee composed of the directors and some of the principal stock holders was appointed and authorized to mnke the necessary arrangements for the plant. A mlllalte has been chosen and the wo.': k of excavating for the foundations and en) ing the site will begin next woek. The company owns one of the best proposi tlons on the slllclous ore belt, and liai more or :han any other company at work In the district exposed. The ore is of ex cellent gnde and an Ideal cyanldlng prop osltlon. The Improvements on the Big Four com pany'n ground in Deadwood gulch have been practically completed and the full development of the property will be rapidly pushed. The new boilers have been In stalled and the hoist Is In operation and everything about the plant Is working smoothly. It Is the Intention of the com pany to sink 600 feet and at that level begin drifting on the ore body. The showing so far made baa been excellent. Rex Makes a Strike. Another rich strike has been made In the shaft which Is being sunk by the Rex Mining company on its ground south of Lead which Is better than anything which has been made in late years In that sec tion. The new find is a white quarts, and so thickly covred are some of the spec! mens taken from the shaft that there ap pears to be more gold than rock. The Strike was made last Thursday at a depth of thirty-five feet, and the rich ore com pletcly fills the bottom of the shaft. The company has ordered a holxt, and will sink on the lodge for a eouple of hundred feet, but before that depth has been reached will cut stations and drift along the course of the vein. Work on the foundations for the big mill which the Thenix company will build on Blacktail gulch will begin within a week or ten days, the grading of the site has about been completed. R. M. Moloney general manager of the company, Is now In Chicago, where, it is siid, he has .let the contract for furnishing the machinery for the mill, which will be a plant of 20 tons dally capacity. The mine is receiving development, work having been started upon t an Hoe-foot Incline, which will tap the old workings, and through which the oro will be supplied to the mill. This in O'lie she ft. It Is figured, will be completed and equipped with the necersary hoisting pia-.l'i!icry befo.e the new mill Is com pleted. The l'henlx has a well developed property and vast renerves of ore blocked out which can be made available at any time. This ore will go. aa has been proven by numerous asiviys. better than 16.50 per ton. about 40 par cent being free milling The wet crushing cyanide process will be used to save the values. Big Copper Plant to Start. CUSTER CITY, 8. D., Aug. 23.-(Bpeclal.) Arrangements have been completed for starting up the 100-ton plant of the Cen tral Black Hills Copper company, and a run will be made on ore from the com pany's property about ten miles northeast of this city. Several eastern parlies In terested In the property have arrived and hav visited the mines snd will be present when the initial run is made. The ore which is being taken from the workings of the company Is said to be very rich, running as high as 17 per cent copper. Hell's canyon. In the Limestone range, promises to be the scene of great copper developments In the future If one may Judge from the float which has been brought In from that locality. John Collins, while prospecting In the canyon last week, came across lots of float, some of It carrying native copper. He says that the moun tain sides In places Is covered with It, and that tho Indications for the discovery of big and rich ledges of copper ore are very good. Some of the specimens which he has brought Into Custer City run very high. W. W. Olds Is pushing development work on the Ruberta group of claims at Four Mile, and now has the big working shaft which he Is sinking down 175 feet. The ore continues to be of high grade, and at the present depth the ledge appears to be stronger than nearer the surface. A little water Is coming Into the shaft, but not In sufficient quantities to Interfere With operations. A party of eastern gentle men Interested In the ground with Mr. Olds is on the property Investigating con ditions and It Is said that the result will be the building of a mill upon It. Manager Mlttnacht of the eastern syn dicate which a few weeks ago purchased the Kimball property, consisting of the King Solomon and adjacent claims, this week concluded negotiations for the pur chase of the Beardsloy, Thompson and Dwyer properties, which will give the new company an acreage of something over three hundred acres. A pumping plant and new hols will be erected at once at the King Solomon shaft, which Is 200 feet deep and three compartments, and work of sinking It deeper will be com menced. A saw mill Is being brought In for the purpose of getting out lumber for office buildings, machine shops and stables and a large force of men will soon bo em ployed on the property.

For the week the receipts show an increase 01 about c.ooo nead over last woek s supply but as compared witn tne same weex last year there Is a decrease of about 6,iK head. The decrease, however, Is In the supply of westerns, as fully as many corn feds are being received as arrived a year Earlv in the week owing to favorable prospects of a heavy run of western beef cattle corn fed steers suffered a sharp de cline. By the middle of the week, however. the tUDnlv of grans beef was short und packers were again anxious for corn feds and prices began to improve. The loss nas now oeen ruuy regained so mat corn fed steers If at all desirable are fully steady with the close of last week. Short fed cattle have been selling at very uneven prices cwing to tne tact tnat tney nave boen coming in competition with the westerns. As a general thing, how ever, they too are steady for the week. Warmups, however, have been neglected and have had to cell at the came prices paid for grassers. Choice corn reus may De quoted from lo.oo to I0.40, talr to good from $4.60 to $4.90. and short fed cattle from $4.00 to $4.50. The cow market Is also about steady for the week. The same as steers prices broke early in the week but have since recovered thi loss. The market as a whole has been very satisfactory as each day's offerings nave been well cared for. Canneis sold largely from $1.76 to $2.25; fair to good gr.,ss cown iruiu ts.w ui anu (fund io ciuil.' irom is.oc to Yi.au witn sometning fancy above that. Corn feds could be quoted fr-.'m $4.75 to $4.26. Bulls, veal calves and stags have sold in Just about the same notches all the week, although calves are If anything stronger as high aa $5.25 having been paid. There has been a rood demand for feeders all this week and in fact the demand lias been a little In excess of the supply and an advance of fully KxfilSc has taken place. In some cases salea have been made that looked even better than that. The In ferior grades of course have not been ss feady sellers and have not shown as much mprovement. The better grades of feed ers have sold largely from $3.60 to $3.85, though something strictly choice would of course bring more. Fair to good stuff sold from ts.za to U.bU and common stuff from $3.25 down. The Quality or tno range beer sloers that have arrived so fur has been rather disap pointing. They have not been killing out well and are far from being as good as those that arrived a year ago at this time. Packers, however, have taken hold of them freely this week and the market is a little higher than it was a week ago. Good to choice steers may be nuoted from 13.75 to $4 26, though something strictly choice would undoubtedly ecu considerably alxivn $4.25. Fair to good cattle Bold from $3.50 to $3.75 and the commoner grades went firm $3.40 down. Range cows may be quoted steady for the week while western Blockers and reeoers aro ruuy waiac higher than they were a week ago. HOGS There was a light run of hos here today and the market improved a lit tle. The general market could aafelv be quoted at 6al0c higher, with the heavy hogs snowing iuuy as mucn improvement as tne light weights. Trading was fairly uctlve so the early arrivals were disposed of In good season. Several trains though were late in arriving and that delayed the clone of the market until a late hour. The heavy hogs sold mostly for $5.20 to $5.30; mediums went from $6.30 to $5.35 and lights from $5.5 to $6.60, with a bunch at $5.65. Receipts of hogs have been very light for the week as there Is a decrease as com- Fared with last week amounting to about 2.O11O head and as compared with the same week of last year there Is a decrease of about 8.000 head. The low day of the week was Wednesday, when the average was down to $5 12. or about IS eents lower than the close of the previous week. Blnce that time, however, the tendency of prices has been upward ao that closing prices are a little higher than those in force at the close of last week. The quality of the hogs coming forward Is good for this time of the yeur. Representative sales: No. At. Bh. Pr. No. Ar. . Ft. ID 114 U0 t 20 44 V, M (in It ! ... I 61 tTl to I 30 4T 1M) ...

Ill SHEEP There were no fresh receipts of sheep and lambs again today, so a trst of the market has not inen made since Thursday. The receipts for tho week have cot been heavy at this point, as there 1 a decrease of about t.000 head as c -mpurod with last week and of about 14.0 u head as compared with the same week of iait year. One thing to be noticed, however, is the fact that a large truVortlon 0f the offer ings have ben rat enough for killers. He cripts of fat etuff at other poinia bive alio beta liberal and as a result there has boea more stuff on sale than packers needed for their Immediate ttqulienients mid the tendency ot prices has been oownward. The general market on fat sheep and lambs can best be described by calling It l.Vyjnc lower, with lambs Buttering the greatest decline. This bresk In pi Ices is 110 wurse than at other points, so the mar ket here Is still well In line. The demand for feedirs has been active all the week and drrlrable grsdes may be quoted about steady, 'lhe common stuff, however, in some cases has shown a sight reduction.

Dullness pervaded tne grain pita today and 011 continued iavornble weather wheat ruled weak. Sep tember closing Htf'c lower. September corn was off Uc, cats t.ecllned itiVic, but provisions were unchanged to 6c higher. Trading in wheat was of a very tame character and prices were conslderaoly un settled. Tho opening was easier under the Influence of excellent weather In lhe northwest, September being c lower at 80S0. There was a fair demand the first hour on fears of rain In the spring wheat belt nnl the market turned quite tlrm, September advancing to R(Ac, but the gen eral trend f crop news was if a bearish nature and free liquidation soon caused a dec die. Liberal clearances and re ceipts of new wheat at Minneapolis were depressing Influences lit the latter part of the session. The close was near the bottom price of the day, September being Stio iower at 7tQ,9Tc; after selling down to 7tSiC. Clearances of wheat ana flour were equal to 253,900 bushels. Primary receipts were 313,900 bushels, against 824.800 bushels a year ago. Minneapolis and Duiuth reported receipts of 225 cars, which with local receipts of 89 cars, 1 of con tract grade made total receipts for the three points 814 cars against 196 cars isst week, and 4S6 cars a year ago. Corn showed a slight Improvement In the early transactions, but trade was dull, with the bull leaders making no special efforts to support the market and conse quently prices soon turned weak. There was an absence of outside business and nothing conscious In the local trade. There weather In the corn belt was all that could be desired for the crop and movement. After selling between &lfy52c, September closed at 61Hc; a loss of He, December was off Ho, closing at 61,c. Local re ceipts were 278 cars, with thirty of con tract grade. Oats was chiefly affected by the liberal selling on the part of a prominent Interest. It was estimated that over 500,000 bushels of December and May were sold out by tho bull leaders, and with a rather limited de mand the market developed considerable weakness. The weather continued favor able for threshing and movement. Sep. tembor cosed jjVic lower' at 34'V(f34So after ranging between S&Vi'USS. Local re ceipts were 222 cars. Provisions ruled firm enrly In the day on a amaller run of hogs and better prices at the yards, and with a good demand from longs for October lard and ribs, together with covering by shorts. A firm under tone preval'ed throughout tho entire ses sion, although profit taking resulted In a loss of most of the early gain.

The compara tive steadiness of cotton had no apparent effect in developing business on the 'cloth market last week, muny operators waiting tor estimates of the coming crop. There was some Increase In the life and move ment of the market during the earlier days of the week, but buslne s later dropped again into dullness. Offers from India for good sheetings were reported to be nearer practical price, though these latter have bi en sirengthened lately bv the stoppage of the looms. Business for China has not materially Improved, though It was better than on Ind an account. Trans actions for the Levant and the various Mediterranean ports wern almost to a standstill owing to the political unres' Pi the near east. With regard to yarns, Homo spinners found a rather better do mand for home made twists and were able to insist on better rates for small quan tities. Certain kinds of American wefts are getting scarce and some believe that matters will materially Improve before September is out. Minneapolis Wheat, Floor and flrau. MINNEAPOLIS. Aug. 22.
